THE POET OF THE FUTURE.


Gladly the poet OF the Future sees
nobler beauty than his elders knew:
The lovely faisehoods melt away like dew,
But Truth remains more beautiful than slese
His vision ranges over wider seas;
In deeper space, new planets meet his view >
He reads the legend in the rainbow's hue,
And starry secrets render up their keys
A broader world, higher life he knows,
His great ideals higher yet arise;
And over all his auickened fancy throws
shining halo OF trarscendent dyes
Old suns have set Another sunrise CLOVIS
